- UPDATE 03/21/17: Tate and I have secured jobs back in the States and need to sell Sundowner immediately. Our visas are also up in early May meaning we will have to leave the country for a month. I know we have put a lot of money and time into Sundowner but everyday we spend here in Panama is a day we are losing money back in the States. Someone is going to get a GREAT boat at a super cheap price.
We have reduced the already GREAT price of $49,500 to $39,500. First one down gets her! Please email us at SundownerSailsAgain @ gmail dot com for more info.
Our labor of love for the past 7 years is for SALE! It is Bittersweet.

REDCUED Price: $39,500 OBO

Sundowner is a 1974 factory finished Westsail 32. She has circumnavigated 3 times and has been almost continuously cruised or lived aboard for the past 40 years, receiving constant attention and upgrades throughout her life. She is a true long range, rugged, water/energy autonomous, blue water cruiser. Her latest major refit/rebuild in 2015 focused on low maintenance, strong gear, and comfort at anchor.
Since 2015 she has been sailed from New Orleans Louisiana down to Panama where she resides currently.
The Westsail boats are legendary for their blue water capabilities. Being factory finished assures those qualities. In addition, Sundowner has an engine with less than 300 hours, a 18gph water maker, 500 watts of solar, a freezer, and a very long list of improvements.
She is offered for sale and we believe she is the most updated and modernized Westsail on the market today. She is truly turn key and ready to sail away. Everything is stocked, provisions, a full galley, fuel, water, new batteries, etc. We currently live aboard and can answer any questions about her readiness to meet your needs.
We spent over 70 thousand dollars and 5000 man hours upgrading and lovingly refitting this boat. We have had an incredible time on this comfortable and seaworthy Westsail. While we have had an incredible time sailing her over the past 7 years but it’s now time to let her go to her next owner’s who will hopefully take her farther to distant shores. Health concerns (Hip, lower back and other joint issues issues) force us to sell.
If someone buys it soon, there is still time to take her across the Pacific this year as she is located next to the Panama Canal in the beautiful San Blas islands. Travel here is easy, and she is ready to go. Make an offer, we are motivated to sell. We can also deliver to anywhere on the Gulf Coast of the USA and will consider delivery elsewhere in the Caribbean.
Please find below a very detailed list of Sundowner’s equipment and improvements.

Speaking for only myself (who else could I speak for?) I empathize with your health issues causing you to sell your blue water home. Times and circumstances change, hopefully your "conditions" or issues that plague you will sort themselves out over time and you as a family can again journey onward to another adventure in life. I am fortunate that I too sailed the deep on our own 64' Ketch rig for many years while young and healthy. We stowed-away many an adventure and passages to last me the rest of my days even though I am over 70 now. I tell folks always try and go exploring or adventuring when as young and fit as possible, you can work your way around the world in your own vessel if you are willing to work hard and do jobs that other cruisers are not want to do. We walked away from a land based business (sold it while it was running profitably ), took on the 64" ketch and her repair work needed although the hull, masts, spars and engine were in fair shape, all else need replaced including all sails, standing rigging, shaft, all electronics and every piece of halyard, line, lifelines and stanchions including the bell rope (charlie Nobel) Great memories for the wife and I as I am sure you have as well. Keep on keepin' on, you arr sea dogs of the special breed. Be well, keep your sense of purpose and enjoy every minuet you draw breath. Thank you again for sharing your journey.

Just saw Sundowner on EBay for 8K currently. Breaks my heart.
Highly unlikely
Gasp! I almost fell out of my chair in disbelief. What the hay, this was the best most educational and spontaneous travel blog I have ever followed. You are very gifted bloggers. Wishing you well. 😳
Wow, sad to see you two have to sell your love. Best to you two, and God be with you. I'll still follow along here and on your blog! This was the only of your vids that I had a hard time giving a thumb's up to.
Sorry to hear the news of your selling your boat! I checked in to see your next video and the selling your boat video came up,:o! I really enjoy listening to you and all of your videos. You must be sure that just some recuperation for a couple months won't help your health problems? I hope you give us a farewell video. Thank you for taking us along on all of your travels!
So sorry to read about the need to sell you Westsail. May Sundowner sell quickly and at a great price, and may your next chapter in life be full of many unexpected blessings.
sorry to hear your news. I'm going to miss following your sailing adventures
Sorry to hear of your health issues. That is my biggest fear in life, that something will happen before I get to see more of the world. Hope you guys can find a way to make more content, you do very good work. (consider including the web site in the sale, it is pretty cool). I found you when you were in the RV, maybe that world will work out for you? Take care and hope to meet you both one day.
YES HEALTH ISSUES CAN STOP YOU IN YOUR TRACKS I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE. HAD TO SELL MY HARLEY SINCE IVE GOT A TITANIUM SPINE FROM S1 TO L3... HOPE WHATEVER IS THE PROBLEM IS FIXABLE AND YOU CAN AT LEAST GET BACK TO THE RV. I LIVE IN A CLASS A FULL TIME AND ITS A JOB FOR ME. FAIR WINDS AND SMOOTH ROADS TO THE BOTH OF YOU. SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS BUT ONLY HAVE ONE GOOD EYE.
well heck! Wish you guys could continue. You are a great source of entertainment. I have really enjoyed your posts. The young lady is a beautiful person. The young man is in the right role, sailing around the Bahamas... he seems to be a very Hemingway like person
Who am I going to live through now? Seriously, I'm sorry you guys are selling, and for the reasons why, but we'll be tickled to have y'all back, if that's the plan. ❤❤❤
Sorry to hear, I really enjoyed your videos. Hope to see you sailing again in the future.
We watch lots of sailing vlogs, and we really enjoyed yours-good luck,God bless,and till we meet again!
As posted due to medical reasons the boat is for sale and they are returning home. The videos will end.
We are sad to see this dream end... But do understand that not all dreams last.. TY both for what dreams have been made will miss you both.
Best wishes and good luck !
WOW so sorry, I'm sure it's killing you to do so. God Bless and best of luck and health. Maybe another boat can be easier on you. Maybe an RV will be back in the picture for you.
Sorry to hear that : (
Wishing you guys all the best for the future. DaveBrisbane Australia
sorry about the boat to be sure but I am even more saddened to hear the health is a real issue these days. Hang in there and do what you need to in order to be well.
damn, sorry to hear, but you gotta do what makes you happy, so good luck!! Happy Trails!!
Wishing you the best,....good luck as your life changes for the moment,....
Beautiful boat! Back , hip, and joint issues?? Sounds like you are talking about me. I'm sad to see this come to an end for you. Good luck in your next adventure.
replacing the batteries at the beginning of this season ? It looked super tuff bad positions,
Sorry to see you sell! Hopefully you can at least change your vlog to a land luber! I have enjoyed your stories and handy work. Will pray for your healing and successes!
Great, thorough sales brochure for your cool boat!! I doubt you will have trouble finding a good buyer for her! Going to miss following your journey though! All the best for your future adventures! One question: How did you like the Garmin charts and plotter? I'm considering their latest plotter for our boat.
Great Westsail. Good luck.
Wishing u both happiness. Take care-
I would love to know the price
dang wish I could. I would love to live aboard(or so I think?) just been Midwesterner canoer but would love to try for bigger water and bigger fish. travelling around the globe is something I think everyone would like to do at least once in their life. problem for me is I am low wage guy, with all the expense & things ya need to know/do to liveaboard makes me think it will never happen or be long journey I can't take first step on now.
Are you guys going back to Motorhome living? :D
Where can I find the price ? Where is she located ? Interested .
She says, "Well it ain't very big around but it sure is short."
I hate to hear that brother hope y'all are ok other wise what are y'all planes now
Selling the boat and being landlubbers aint gonna cure what ails ya. Stick to the plan and head out to sea, it will fix those hips and joints right up. But best of luck in whatever you do.
A good video but still trying to find the price!!
WHAT ??? Ya just gotta tell us why. Bigger boat? back to the RV ? Starting a crawfish farm? That is a well equipped boat. Sad to see yall go though.
OK, I just read the rest of the info at the top. Duh.... Sorry to hear.
Did you get your money back that you put into it? Most of the time this is not the case. When ever I buy a boat I never overspend, as I know someday I just might have to sell it.
Beautiful boat! I hope those are a couple of our Sport-a-Seat's on board?! If so, we'd enjoy a few photos for our site...
We're are y'all? What are your plans? Thank y'all for your vids.
No reason to give up the dream! New boat, automated sails and electric winches...
Sorry to hear, but your health is the most important!
why have you stopped posting videos??
I want your boat!! I wish I could afford it. Heck, I'd like to pick up the channel too!!
so what is the sweet enjoying your video hope to see you out there
Wish I could buy it!
Beautiful boat..
Please dont tell me ...the wife ran off with the chiselled 20 year old cabana boy named Ricco....who loves to massage her feet.
Is this still for sale? If so, do you know of any other boat for sale like this one?
Is it true this guy died of cancer?
Sad to hear this I really enjoyed the sailing vids. I have an idea. Hold a raffle for your subs at a $100.00 a ticket. At 8000 plus subs just get 500 and the $50000. goal is met and maybe a lot more. I'll through down for a ticket.
Is the boat still for sail?
All I can say is that this sucks. I really enjoyed your channel.
Is this yacht still for sale? ?
Why are you selling?
Jack odonohue good question
read the show more.
That info is in their blog.
Yep I read it after I posed the question
Awe Really?? Are you upgrading or getting out?
Medical reasons they are going home.
Prayers to you two. I will miss your vlogs, temporarily I hope, be well.
So what kind of catamaran are you going to buy ?
How is your husbands back doing?
this stinks!!! gonna miss your videos!
is this a troll vlog wtf?
No, there are medical reasons they are going home and put up the boat for sale.
